Trolls are hideously ugly, mentally limited, ill mannered, unkempt, fearsome, larcenous, and acidly envious of the good looks and better fortunes of human beings. All of which makes them some of the most memorable and entertaining villains in all folklore. Unlike the brutish, animalistic trolls featured in much fantasy fiction, the trolls in this book are more whimsical than evil. And if you think troll tales are only for children, this book will quickly disabuse you of that notion, for it has all-ages appeal. As in the best traditional Scandinavian troll tales, Ort, Haar, Scurf, Skimpa, Utrud, Old Fungus and the other Troll Mountain trolls are amusingly gruff, grubby, grumpy and gullible. While their guiding principle is "one takes what one can get," they are more mischievous than malevolent, more na�ve than nefarious, and more blusterous than savage.Troll Mountain Tales has more than fifty tales, most from the author's imagination, woven into an overarching story about a small tribe of mid-Twentieth Century trolls trying to protect their mountain from encroaching human activity. The through-story is told mainly from the trolls' point of view, with the shorter, embedded tales told both from the human and troll perspectives. The enchanting tales are filled with humor, adventure, pathos, suspense, surprise twists and excitement. Reading them is similar to eating potato chips in that with each one you want another, and another, and another.
